Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore

5.0

Such a fun, innovative time hop book. My head is spinning! The only thing I did not like was having a solid answer or reason WHY Oona spins through time. There is no instigating incident...no internal thought or wish...just one new years eve, out of the blue, blammo, she leaps. That said, the niggle is small and only pulled me out of story now and then when I tried to wrap my head around how the timelines were actually working...how her mom could have memories from different Oona versions...how they seem to overlap and yet stand alone. It hurt my head to think about it too much, so I tried not to but couldn't help it. The story itself is rich and poignant and interesting. Very much worth the read. And goes to show as an author, if the emotions on the page are ripe and lush it will be hard to put down. And it was. I read through this as fast as time allowed me...any time I had down time to read I was grabbing this book.
